| Handbook
of Bird Biology
by Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology
Call it Bird University! This gloriously illustrated
volume provides comprehensive college-level information about birds
and their environments in a style accessible to nonscientists and
teachers the world over. All major topics are covered, from anatomy
and physiology to ecology, behavior, and conservation biology. One
full chapter addresses vocal communication and is accompanied by
a CD of bird vocalizations. Produced by the Cornell Laboratory of
Ornithology's world-renowned Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds,
the CD illustrates key elements of bioacoustics. The book's text
was written by 12 leading ornithologists and illustrated by respected
photographers and acclaimed artist John Schmitt. It includes an
extensive glossary and index, a list of the common and scientific
names of all birds mentioned in the text, author profiles, suggested
readings following each chapter, and a complete reference section.
The Handbook serves as the backbone of the Lab's popular Home Study
Course in Bird Biology, a self-paced course that can be taken from
anywhere in the world, by anyone with a serious interest in birds
who would like guidance from professional ornithologists.
